Hey all,
I've been having a nose about on the dev pages looking at the roms most of which have lots of feed back from ATRIX 4G users. My question is: do I have to do anything different to get one of these roms to work on my UK retail phone?
Oh and finger print reader, I didn't even realise that it was I multiple function thing I just assumed it was a quirky design choice...

Let me rephrase that, how will I know the rom will work over here? Is there an abbreviation / code I'm missing some where or will the roms work with all the different radios?

CNA, CM9 and AOKP are the main ics roms…i have an orange uk atrix and I'm using cm9 by jokersax. Don't need to do anything different to install the rom. I think the rest should work without doing anything extra.

If you have problems with the radio you can flash the radio independently to the ROM
I've taken the plunge and now have the current jokersax cm9 build.
I had a few issues with renaming the recovery file but otherwise OK.

You mean the Atrix tablet build? I love that
There's just one thing that has bugged me so far : the touch panel. Multi touch isn't exactly perfect on ICS ROMs (that includes MIUIv4).

I was just trying to get some good suggestions on which rims are good to use with my Motorola ATRIX
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
They are all great and stable. Read through the DEV section and do some research. Find one that suits your needs, then flash away. Just make sure you are unlocked and using the correct recovery. Good luck!
ROMs are like pokemons - you need to try them all yourself.

This is no diss to the developers because I very much appreciate their work!
And I haven't tried all the ROMs
Still, for my suite of apps, for the smoothest and most reliable op of the phone and for the longest battery life..I am back to stock. I have frozen apps, I am running the .97 radio (which has made a huge difference to me in reliability and throughput) but I am stock. Mainly, I had issue with the various incarnations of the Faux kernel and always wound up with lost widgets (I like my widgets I tried all the suggestions and still, at some point I would lose widgets with the kernel. Since this is the basis of most ROMs that did it for me (and it has to be the kernel since I had the problem on the stock ROM with the kernel).
Good luck...it is easy to go back to stock if you don't like the various ROMs.
I intend to try CM7 later on when the Faux kernel and the integration with Setcpu (both cores) is resolved and CM7 has webtop integration (I use the lapdock every day).
I've used a few of the ROM's out there and right now I am on HomeBase version 2 with Faux's latest kernel. I will say that the version of HomeBase is pretty close to stock but it has a bunch of enhancements (zipalign, memory tweaks, etc). My suggestion is to get to flashing and see what suits you. What I like you may hate. CM7 is worth a try as well and I may switch over when it become official (or I may wait for MIUI).
As for the widget issue...fix permissions fixed it for me, hundreds of restarts and I still have my widgets.
You should check out the dev section...good ROM's and good reading!!!

If you are looking form suggestions for ROMs I'd suggest CM7.

Remember, after flashing modems. Dial *22891 and let it update your roaming. Then reboot.

Glitched aokp. Has the newest things. The glitch kernel it comes with is actually newer than the one you can download separately. And also has improvements that cant easily be done without building the 2 around eachother. From what i gather, when the devs started glitched aokp and the bigmem ram mod they made a considerable device fork from other aosp Roms on our phone. Making some of the included stuff incompatible with other roms, like ths.
Just think of glitched aokp as the bleeding edge for this phone.

What really needs to be updated in CM7? I'm sure if there was a big enough issue or if Cyanogenmod came out with a new update, he will update ours.

Since there is an official new kernal that should be put in. Which is why i don't use any of these new roms cause all of those (cm7, cm9, and miui) all uses 2.3.4 crappy kernal.
It would be nice if he did that.

Kinda hard to use a new kernel with a locked bootloader
If God (dzk) uses 2.3.4 there must be a reason. of course maybe he doesn't know anything about it, and is really lucky... Doubt it.

Well at least wifi is not working well for me. It is very slow to connect, and sometimes I need a reboot to make it work. Otherwise, it stays in the scan->connect loop forever. I saw this on touchpad before, so this maybe a CM7 issue, but it is far from perfect.

The 2.3.5 Kernel is not stable. I ran it for about a week and then thankfully got the 2.3.6 update! The Kernel freezes and lags the phone horribly. Be lucky you are not on this kernal
I ran it with the Milestone X2
I personally hope he's devoting all his time to CM9!
Hi, I am using Photon for my GSM. I have unlocked my phone and right now using MIUI ROM.
Can anyone suggest me which is the best available stable ROM for my photon with very less issues. Please help.
peetr's 2.3.5 Hybrid. It offer's the most in advantages vs stability. The current version has very few bugs and is extremely stable. It may not be "cool" but then again neither was Imperium.
1. Can we ange the status bar to be like MIUI ?
2. Do the softkey light works fine ?
3. Can i able con to sync facebook contacts and displays their photos and details in contacts with native apps without using Hexsync or something ?
Please give a reply .
ic4 roms not stable as u think
i tried 3 diffrent rom parinoid aokp and cm9 none were stable my phone wold randomly reboot when not being used , net flix dosent work issues with the kick stand mode i thought they all lacked the attension to detail since motorola makes things a lil harder soposidly
I second the choice of peetr's 2.3.5 rom. It works great and has been virtually bug free. I've tried stock, Imperium, paranoid, cm9, and cm7 also and the only one I can get data on aside from peetr's is cm7. I'm trying out simplemobile on my photon to see how t-mobiles network is.
Back to Stock
I unlocked my Photon to work with the AT&T and then decided to try some different roms. I think I want to go back to stock rom but keep unlock, how can I do that?

just nandroid restore your stock ROM. given you backed that up like you should have.
or do you possibly mean restore your radio to go back to the stock ROM / CDMA?

How is that rom going so far?
Did you used some fix or something?
peetr_'s 2.3.5 Hybrid is the best.
but for the adventurous people; cm10 alpha is getting along well with gsm network. better than cm9 alpha.
all CM9 have bugs
as i tried different CM9 ROM, all of them had major bugs, unless if you are considering camcorder not major part of the phone, even the alpha CM10 have the same bug and more.
for me i had to wait until an official release from Motorola
I think cm10 beta by jokersax with gapps v3 is better even though in the beta stage smooth and fast with small issues like white screen in camera application(but mind you jelly bean camera takes awesome photos even with the white screen) camcorder issues and themes not able to apply

I hope the GSM function will keep working on the new versions of CM10 that are going to come...

I would say epinter one is the most reliable one for now. i bet he is cooking somthing good with his atm ROM and the leak also, so it would be even better.

Did you say reliable?
Then forget about both ICS and JB and go with GB. Any variant will do.
ICS/JB ROMs are just too unfinished yet to be a reliable daily driver, IMO. People are woking hard on them though, so there is no doubt they will one day become as reliable as good old GB.
Agreed.

This is a very accurate summary of where we stand. I'm still running Nottachtrix 1.3.1 even though Nottach left the Atrix over a month ago, just because everything works on it. Bluetooth, wifi, HWA, Ubuntop, all cameras, and even a decent selection of themes for both android and linux.
But with the new leak libs, there is sure to be a fantastic CM9/10 ROM that takes advantage of them. We just have to be patient.
Hi
If you're not using thoroughly your phone, the CM10 form Epinter is now reliable enough for a daily use.
I was using CM7 since months, and after trying CM10 last week, i'm still using it and have found no real limitations for a basic usage.
I'd recommend you to keep a GB based rom if you want to have the most reliable system and if video recording is a primary need for you.
Just my $.02: I don't even use the "latest" GB 2.3.7 ROM: I've returned to Neutrino 2.6 EE (the latest is 2.91 at this writing). CM 7.2 RC1 was the most stable + efficient ROM from the CM gurus for my Atrix. I charge my phone once every two or three days too.
Think about driving a car that everyone laughs at that's never needing to go to the shop. Gits ya there, gits ya back, reliably and without anyone really paying attention to it, and it just goes and goes and holds its own against everyone else. Newest doesn't always mean best; trustworthiness does.
Epinter's CM10 worked OK for me despite the few well known bugs.
You might give the brand new AtrICS ROM a shot. It's hard to believe that it could already be as stable as it claims to be, but with working hardware acceleration, it should have some bugs fixed as compared to CM10.

epinter JB rom
I am using epinter's JB rom and it works flawlessly.
Thanks,

I switched from epinter's CM10 to AtrICS today and found it to be a fairly usable. You trade some features for others.
I prefer the interface of CM10 to AtrICS, but AtrICS feels really snappy thanks to the HWA. I'll probably get used to ICS after a while. The Camera works well, but, like others I noticed that after switching from the back camera to the front, there was some corruption on the right side of the screen. Going into Camera Settings and unchecking then rechecking the Widescreen box fixes this. There are problems with the unlock screen of AtrICS; it can be slow to appear when you press the power button and I have seen the screen turn on for a split second before turning right back off. If you let the phone go into a deep sleep, you may see a black screen for a minute, in my case the unlock screen did eventually appear. I've had one reboot right after closing a bunch of apps running in the background then trying to open a browser.
WiFi works great with AtrICS and mobile data feels faster than I remember.
My mobile gone hot after a few minute use AtrICS, and experienced network lost. The phone also hot with epinter 's version.
Restored TopSmart1.3. GB has the stablity I trust.

Does your camcorder autofocus very often (around 1-5 seconds)? Mine does with Somebody's CM10, I'm just wondering if it just me.
